The new Lunaris pad synth for Kontakt

Containing more than 4.5GB worth of sample content, Lunaris comes with over 250 meticulously crafted preset patches across a 4-layer synth. Notable features include “Flux Motion, Modulation and Effect Chain per layer”. It sounds like the ultimate synth pad machine with capabilities of getting extremely avantgarde and obscure tones at the same time.

Here’s more from developer Luftrum:

Lunaris will run you $159. It is NKS ready for Komplete Kontrol and Maschine users and will run on the free version of Kontakt inside of all major DAWs.

Not only is Lunaris a dream pad machine, it is also a full bodied creative tool that can excel at anything from soundscapes to synth leads, as well as drones and organic textures, complementing both the producer, composer and the sound designer.
